Jackson Memorial Hospital's Public Health Trust is asking Miami-Dade Commissioners and the County Manager to loan them $80-million.

They say the money is desperately needed to ensure JMH can make payroll this month. 

If not, Jackson Health System's acting CFO Chris Bayer warns by April 3rd, JMH will have only 1.5 days of cash available.

At the same time the bills just keep coming.

That includes a $1.1-million payment due to Johnson and Johnson.

Jackson Health System's David Small says if they don't make it by this week, "they're not releasing the credit roll and whatever they deliver to us isn't being delivered." 

He fears doctors will soon run out of crucial supplies meaning they may have to cancel procedures.

Hospital officials are asking union leaders to help them bridge the $230-million shortfall; however, union members argue all parties need to agree to concessions.

Former County Manager and consultant Merritt Stierheim says everyone must realize hundreds of thousands of people could be left without health care if JMH runs out of money.

Jackson Memorial Hospital officials are expected to sit down with union leaders again Friday in an effort to come up with a reasonable way to fill the deficit.

Another meeting with unions, hospital top brass and the trust is scheduled for Monday.

The trust is set to vote on March 22nd whether to eliminate about 4,500 jobs and close both Jackson North and South.

As for the high priced public relations firm the hospital hired to handle crisis management, that nearly $100,000 contract has been canceled.

Colleen R. LaRose faces a life sentence if she is convicted of the most serious charges, federal prosecutors in Philadelphia said. They include conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and to kill in a foreign country.

U.S. Attorney Michael Levy released little information about LaRose, saying only that she was born in 1963 and lives in Montgomery County in the Philadelphia suburbs. Levy said she was also known as Fatima LaRose and as Jihad Jane.

The indictment said LaRose conspired with five unindicted and unidentified men to use the Internet to find and recruit men willing to carry out terrorist acts in South Asia and Europe. They also allegedly sought women who had passports and would be able to to travel to help the fighters.

LaRose herself agreed to carry out a killing in Sweden, prosecutors said. Her alleged target was a Swedish citizen.

Investigators say she discussed how her appearance would make the job easier.
